America has lost its heart


I moved to the US from England in 1995.

The culture here was completely different from that in the UK, but I liked it. Folks were welcoming, upbeat and happy.

Shortly after I arrived there was a dreadful tragedy in Oklahoma, you all remember it so there is no need to go into details, but folks pulled together, and got through it.
Since then terrible things have happened. School shootings, 9/11, terrible times for all. Through the grief and sorrow, folks pulled together, it brought them closer. Even if their politics were different, they were one nation healing together.

For the past two or three years America has changed. Racism is rife. The general mood of the country is that of anger and hatred.

Not everyone demonstrates this mood, but enough folks to make me feel unsafe, a little scared. Hostility is displayed openly. Folks seem to know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.

America has lost its heart and it saddens me.

Sunday Morning Sunshine and Terror

Dayton shooting

Two mass shootings in two days. They are so common place now we barely talk about them anymore. I don’t want to glorify or memorialize the shooter by talking about him, I want to bring attention to the terror he brought to the deceased and injured, and to those families who lost loved ones. So many folks scarred for life.
This has to stop. Military type weapons SHOULD NOT be for sale. Why would anyone want to buy such a weapon?
The current President of this country, who I can’t even bring myself to name, sends a message that hate and racism is OK.
Greed and terror rule, when will this end?
Sorry for my rant, but I’m tired of seeing lives lost. It happens so frequently now. It has to stop.

My heart goes out to everyone involved. But Mr. Trump, please don’t end your ridiculous tweets in GOD BLESS. You are the least godly man I know!



Trump and his love affair with HIMSELF!


This man is in love with HIMSELF!
Not sure what happened to the lower tax promise. My middle class taxes are much higher. He promised to make America great again! It already was great! This egotistical lunatic is washing it down into the sewer.

I’m sure his own pockets are being filled to overflowing with all the secret deals he’s making, and he’ll be paid well for the rest of his life. Disgusting! I wish he could see himself from the eyes of the rest of the world, as the bad joke that he is.

Can anyone do anything to stop this manipulating moron or will he be allowed continue to spread he racism and hatred? How can this be allowed to happen?

OK, had to get that out, it was festering inside me. Sorry, but I do feel better now.

Fleeing London


I’m not well versed in matters political, but I do research and fact gather before I vote. I spent the first 40 years of my life in England, but now live in the US, however I’ve been keeping a close eye on the BREXIT shenanigans. Most people DID NOT know what they were voting for, they just wanted to detach themselves from the EU, and never bothered to consider the consequences. Now its too late for them to change their vote and the harsh reality of what lies ahead is finally dawning on them.

Lack of choice in the supermarkets, Britain has some great fresh produce, but not enough to sustain the country, and the shortage will increase prices. The immigration problem will become worse. Too complicated to explain, but look it up if you don’t believe me. Those Brits who bought vacation homes in Spain will now have to obtain a visa to visit them. Simple travel will now become complicated. Those delicious delicacies that everyone enjoyed from France/Spain/Italy, will now be replaced with imports from the US. Food full of additives and artificial flavorings. YUM!

Oh and one more thing. Companies are fleeing from London as it will no longer be the center of commerce! What does that mean? Major unemployment!

Lets see how things go! Looks to me like this is a worse disaster than Trump. Hopefully we only have to tolerate Trump for another couple of years, but Britain is stuck with BREXIT for life. Good Luck with that!

Brump and Trexit – The woes of a British American



I get the double whammy,
My head it hurts like hell!
Not only do I suffer Trump,
But the Brexit news as well.

I try my best to ignore it all,
But it’s very hard to do,
With news and tweets and all that stuff,
I hear it all brand new.

Now Trump I just can’t tolerate,
He just offends my eyes,
His mouth and hands and ugly face
And oh my lord his lies.

So what to do to get away,
And leave it all behind,
Maybe I’ll just emigrate,
Before I lose my mind!

Trump on Climate Change

Donald Trump

Does this man even know what comes out of his mouth?

“No, no I have a strong opinion. I want a great climate. We’re going to have that, and we are going to have that are very safe because we can’t go through this. Every year we go through this. We’re going to have safe forests and that’s happening as we speak,” he told reporters during a briefing at a command center in Chico, California.

Seriously? Shut the $%*$ up!
